Accreditation
JAB accredits organizations that certify management systems including quality management systems, environmental management systems, information security management systems, occupational health and safety management systems, and food safety management systems.
Management system standards have been developed in a variety of fields over the past few years, increasing the number of certifications as a result. In order to ensure the credibility of these newer management system certifications, JAB has been examining the expansion of its accreditation system.
We are also disclosing accreditation assessment results and promoting programs for disclosing the information of certified management systems to increase the credibility of management system accreditation and certification systems.

NAS's Review
In today’s society, suppliers of goods and services are required to meet not only the explicit requirements of customers, but also to ensure that their products and services are safe and do not pose any risk to the health of users, consumers or the general public. Furthermore, they must take into consideration environmental conservation and promote fair economic behavior.
In order to meet these requirements, it is essential that processes, products and services, and the effects of various economic activities are correctly and objectively assessed (conformity assessment). It is imperative that society has confidence in schemes for conformity assessment. The mission of an accreditation body is to verify and evaluate, with impartiality and fairness, the competence of bodies providing conformity assessment services.
